This super easy and delicious breakfast recipe for these make-ahead scrambled eggs is a wonderful time saver and a great bet for school mornings. Every spring, my husband and I scramble about 12 dozen eggs using this recipe to serve to school kids before they take standardized tests. The recipe works beautifully, and the kids do well. Make it the night before, then just reheat in the morning.
To make these eggs even more special, put them in puff pastry shells. But they are delicious on their own, served with sausage or bacon and some fresh fruit, coffee, and orange juice.
This recipe is also great for entertaining and for the holidays. If you want to double it, make two batches in twoseparate casserole dishes rather than trying to bake 24 eggs in one pan.You will have better control over the consistency of the eggs this way. Use your favorite cheese in this recipe; havarti, Swiss, or Gouda would be delicious as well.
Ingredients
12 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Beat eggs with cream in a large bowl.
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Pour eggs into skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are scrambled and just set, but still moist.
Remove pan from heat and stir in sour cream.
Spread eggs into a greased 7 x 12-inch glass baking dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to eat, heat the oven to 350 F.
Uncover the baking dish and sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper.
Stir gently, then bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and eggs are hot, at least 145F on an instant-read thermometer. Serve and enjoy.

Variations
- You can use nondairy milk and cheese if needed; just keep in mind the results will not be as creamy. Try to use a plain unsweetened milk, so as to not impact the flavor too much.
- Feel free to add chopped scallions, parsley, or chives upon serving.
Some people might like hot sauce at the table. - Eggs are a blank slate, and you can also gently fold in some crumbled, cooked sausage before sprinkling with cheese, or garnish with chopped cooked bacon.
How to Store Make-Ahead Scrambled Eggs
Once the scrambled eggs are baked, they will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to two days. You can reheat them gently either in a low oven or in a nonstick skillet, but eggs are truly best as soon as they're made.
